Tom says, via Kelly: "Tom is purchasing entropy keys -- hardware random number generators with USB ports, which need to be ordered from the UK in packs of 5 or more. Contact Tom directly, or see his post on noisebridge-discuss."

No French class this coming Saturday due to Gay Pride.

City of Oakland is shutting down the Lakeview School. 7 students enrolled yesterday, and 20 more today for summer school. http://meetup.com/oakland-free-school Every day from 9-3pm, at 746 Grand Ave.

Jake: Lakeview will be running a radio station and streaming online this week. They could use audio-related equipment -- CD players, mixing tables, etc. Contact him for donation information.

Danny: A foundation would like us to apply for a $10k grant from them. There're some obligations for accepting the grant. (Requirements were read at the meeting, but we haven't yet asked for permission to publish them)

Leif: Including the words "co-working" space is a bad idea (but you said it was negotiable).

[General questions about how we could spend these funds]

Duncan: Does the foundation have a mission statement?

Danny: I don't know; you can Google it.

Isis, Superq: I see no problems with this.

Kelly: I'd like to exclude all of the words in the "purpose" part

Danny: We could suggest "Direct operating expenses in support of Noisebridge's mission statement"

John: This is extremely nicely worded

Kelly: We've never taken a grant before; this needs to go through consensus

Danny: We should continue to talk about this next week, and confirm with them that we can make the terms of grant public.

Kelly: I think it's generally time for Noisebridge to start spending money like an organization.

Leif: I don't think we should get this grant without a good idea of what we're going to spend it on.

Jake: We should use the money to build an Army of Killer^H^H^H^HFriendly Robots

Danny will propose a consensus item, and we'll continue to talk about it
